    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Magic center Andrew DeClercq, recovering from offseason surgery on his right knee, said he will be out at least four weeks. He could start the season on the injured list. The Magic open the regular season Nov. 3. DeClercq first had surgery in February, but he continued to have pain and had additional surgery in mid-July.

    "There's no pain, but because of all the time off it has atrophied," DeClercq said. "I have to re-strengthen all the muscles and learn to run again."</div>

    lol. Nobody really has anything to say.

    With Drew out, this will give our new bigs an opportunity to prove themselves in this lineup.

    Darn. I guess this hurts our already paper-thin depth at the center position. I'm not a huge DeClercq fan, but he does try hard, and him being injured means that Bradley is going to see more time on the floor. That's never a good thing.

    Ow, Bradley at center. The thought of that makes my head hurt.

    What about Kasun people?

    He may finally have a chance to do something...

    ...

    With DQ's and Augmon's injuries, I'm glad Weis stacked up the team at every position...
